The per-CPU resource vmap_block_queue is accessed via get_cpu_var(). That
macro disables preemption and then loads the pointer from the current CPU.
This doesn't work on PREEMPT_RT because a spinlock_t is later accessed
within the preempt-disable section.
There is no need to disable preemption while accessing the per-CPU struct
vmap_block_queue because the list is protected with a spinlock_t. The
per-CPU struct is also accessed cross-CPU in purge_fragmented_blocks().
It is possible that by using raw_cpu_ptr() the code migrates to another
CPU and uses struct from another CPU. This is fine because the list is
locked and the locked section is very short.
Use raw_cpu_ptr() to access vmap_block_queue.
